Have you ever taken a close look at how the automated ban system relates to investing money?

Investing is an inappropriate term to use too, you don't actually get anything at all. But have you ever thought of how the Instant Feedback system could affect customers like yourselves?

Hypothetically, you can get banned for dying 15 times in ranked, which is very possible in a game that favours snowballing and you can get 2 premades (jungle and adjacent laner) and a very cooperative enemy laner.

After that suspension, if you get banned for anything, at all, for the next half a year or so, completely excluding toxic behaviour, you risk losing everything you bought. So you can't play ranked, or earn ranked rewards, just to be on the safe side. You'll also go out of your way to make sure none of your foreign language messages sound like blacklisted English words.

Think about it. The thought of losing your account forever, along with all the money you've spent, with no human interaction anywhere at all.

How can people actually spend money on this game after the introduction of instant feedback?

And a PSA: If you want League to become casual and damage/power creep to disappear, and for minigames in kits to become a thing of the past, stop supporting the e-"sports" scene.

I spend money, since I earn enough working and also like what I buy. And through the fact that I ain't a toxic person, I don't get banned and got to keep all my shiny skins, cool or?!

There is a difference between dying 15 times in a match and ending the score with something like 7/15/8, and going 0/15/1 in 10 min while running at the enemy base with a bag full of Tears of the Godess.

And if you're concerned about the edge cases between having a bad match and soft inting, worry not because Riot's system is known to give player TOO MUCH benefits of the doubt. Way too much.

I mean, why the hell do you think we have so many high profile inters who are still running about as a free man after YEARS of both hard and soft inting games?

Here is some supporting evidence showing how you can reach the penultimate step in the ban ladder just by playing the game

The alternative to ranked is an imbalanced 2 double premades vs 5 premade team where mathmaking is even more imbalanced
